The course follows a progressive sequence, covering beginner and advanced acrylic painting methods, from underpainting and glazing to impasto and textural effects. It also addresses setup and materials, color mixing and pigment choice, brush-handling and palette-knife techniques, as well as gels and mediums.

Choosing a brush, palette, and canvas
Altering acrylic paint with water and other mediums

Understanding basic color theory
Creating texture

Hi, I'm Linda. I created a company called Paint Along. Check us out at paintalongnyc.com. We have really fun painting workshops in Nashville and New York.
How to Paint with Acrylic Paint:
Acrylic PaintingTechniques
We're going to talk about some painting techniques. Let's start with putting our paint out on our palette. Basically, all you have to do is take your paint, squeeze it out of your bottle or your tube onto your palette. Separate the colors with a little bit of space so that you'll have room to blend in between your colors. I also like to set them out sort of like they appear on the color wheel. And just start with a small amount of paint, each color.
The next thing we're going to talk about is how to load your brushes and how to apply the paint to the canvas. I'm going to start by using a 1/2 inch flat brush. These are great for mixing colors with. I'm going to take some of my red paint and blend it into my yellow paint to come up with an orange shade. Make sure that you get a quite a good amount of paint into your brush depending on the technique and the subject that your going to be working on. You simply take the brush and you press into the canvas. Going back and forth will spread the paint and it will also fill in all the little pieces and parts of the canvas.
The next brush I'd like to demonstrate is the liner brush. This brush is used to get a lot of details in your subject. So you're just going to take your brush and you're going to load it up with the paint. If you use a very heavy pressure, it will give you a very wide line because the bristles splay out. If you use a very light pressure and stay on the tip of the brush, you'll get a very thin and delicate line.
Another brush I'd like to tell you about is the 1 inch flat brush. This brush is good for covering large spaces. You can mix a little bit of water with your paint and your paint will go further. That way you can cover large areas very quickly.
You can go to the store and get all types of easels. You can get standing easels. You can get table easels as well. I prefer to use a small table easel and these take up very little space. And I can take them with me anywhere I go.
I also like to keep my palette very close to my painting. That way I can reach it very easily. I can replenish the colors anytime I want to.
And those are just some basic techniques for setting up your workstation.

I completed this painting in about 4 days. I filmed my entire process from the sketch, to mixing my colors, laying down the base layers, and working those details.
I painted this for a dear friend of mine and also in preparation for this upcoming art festival that I’ll be participating in. I’m so happy with how it came together and it’s always cool for me to even see my process! I hope that you enjoy watching this video and that I could help you learn something about painting portraits!
Please leave any comments or questions that you may have below and let me know what other videos you’d like me to film!
See you next time!

Hello there! I have been dabbling with paint for a while but this semester I took my first painting class. It is so crazy because I have taken a bunch of drawing classes but never a class that focused on how to paint.
In this video I'm sharing the tips I have learned so far from working with acrylics! These are pretty basic tips but these are things that have been really helping me out and I think they will help you if you are a beginner too.
Here are my Tips:
1. Buy Basic Canvases:
I like using canvas boards because it encourages me to go for and practice. I don't feel like I have to make everything perfect because I didn't spend a bunch of money on supplies. Also they are WAYYYYY easier to store in your home.
2. Create more:
It's better to explore and experiment when you are first learning how to work with paint then trying to make everything look perfect right away. As writers like to say: write for the trash can! You are going to learn more and improve quicker by being less timid and more open. So go paint some train wrecks and you will eventually paint a masterpiece.
3. Try painting without DrawingFirst:
I feel like you might come after me with torches and pitchforks for saying this but... maybe give it a try? I know how you feel I am SO much more use to drawing then painting but just learning how to work with my brushstrokes at this point has helped me prevent making my work look too stiff.
4. Use a Bigger brush:
I know you little pencil artists out there like me just want to use a fine tip to get in all those little details... But if you start your paintings this way, it is a PAAAIIIN. Also working with a bigger brush to start helps you create more movement and brushstrokes. (also saves you from ripping out hair)
5. Use the Rule of thirds:
Now you don't always have to do this but it does make the composition more interesting to look at. If my explanation didn't make sense, here is another example: http://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds/
6. Buy Small Paint Tubes:
Now I know you are going to think I've lost my mind on this one but these little mini tubes have gotten me through SEVERAL assignments on my class. I did not think this was possible AT ALL. Paint adds up quickly, use these little tubes to test out what brand works best for you.
7. Use a gel medium:
I LOVE this stuff. I have had it in my art collection for a WHILE but I never really used it. THIS STUFFIS AMAZING! It makes everything glide much easier and it keeps the paint wet. For only $2 it is a bargain. I wouldn't recommend using this stuff for the first layer, wait till your 3rd layer. It makes the paint less opaque.
8. Use a HeavyMatteMedium:
Yes girl! If you have always wanted to add some texture to your paint, here you go. You mix this stuff with your paint and it makes it stand out on your canvas.
9. Mix compliments:
I use to HATE. I mean HAAAATTTE complimentary colors... so much. They just looked so repulsive and ugly to me. But when you mix them together, they neutralize eachother put and create these useful neutrals. These neutrals are great for so many things: shadows, skin. Basically anything you are painting from life.
10. Be bold and experiment with mixing colors:
When you are first starting mixing colors is super intimidating. However, you got to give it a shot. Mix colors you would NEVER think of mixing together. You might surprise yourself.
Those are the tips I have for you guys! I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did you can show your support by commenting and liking. I always appreciate hearing from you.
HappyPainting!

Canvas

Canvas is an extremely durable plain-wovenfabric used for making sails, tents, marquees, backpacks, and other items for which sturdiness is required. It is also popularly used by artists as a painting surface, typically stretched across a wooden frame. It is also used in such fashion objects as handbags, electronic device cases and shoes.

Etymology

The word "canvas" is derived from the 13th century Anglo-French canevaz and the Old Frenchcanevas. Both may be derivatives of the Vulgar Latincannapaceus for "made of hemp," originating from the Greek κάνναβις (cannabis).

Physical characteristics

Modern canvas is usually made of cotton or linen, although historically it was made from hemp. It differs from other heavy cotton fabrics, such as denim, in being plain weave rather than twill weave. Canvas comes in two basic types: plain and duck. The threads in duck canvas are more tightly woven. The term duck comes from the Dutch word for cloth, doek. In the United States, canvas is classified in two ways: by weight (ounces per square yard) and by a graded number system. The numbers run in reverse of the weight so a number 10 canvas is lighter than number 4.

YouView

YouView is a smart TVset-top box platform in the United Kingdom, developed by a partnership of three telecommunications operators and four broadcasters. It was formed from a project originally titled "Project Canvas", which was rebranded as YouView in September 2010. The service was due to launch by the end of that year, but was delayed until 4 July 2012. At its launch, YouView's then-Chairman Alan Sugar stated his ambition for the service to replace Freeview devices.

Canvas (company)

Canvas is a United States-based technology company which provides mobile apps for data collection and sharing. They create apps to gather information, and the apps can be for a wide range of functions. All submissions are stored online. Canvas allows users to customize their apps and can include GPS location capture, photos, signature capture, and reference data. Data can be exported in a comma-separated values spreadsheet or a pdf.

Business structure

Founded in 2008 by Chris Morissette, James Quigley, and Matt Warner as a company specializing in Software as a Service (SaaS), Canvas is headquartered in Reston, Virginia. A regional office covering Asia Pacific in Sydney, Australia was opened in 2013. Canvas is run as a flat organization free of hierarchical structure, where performance is judged based on metrics.

Acrylic paint

Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints are water-soluble, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted with water, or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.

History

The Art

The Art (sometimes stylised as THEART) are an Australian Alternative Rock band based in Sydney. They began performing under the name The Follow in 2004. Tasmanian band leader Azaria Byrne was known as an unsuccessful contestant on the reality television series Popstars.

I use to HATE. I mean HAAAATTTE complimentary colors... so much. They just looked so repulsive and ugly to me. But when you mix them together, they neutralize eachother put and create these useful neutrals. These neutrals are great for so many things: shadows, skin. Basically anything you are painting from life.
10. Be bold and experiment with mixing colors:
When you are first starting mixing colors is super intimidating. However, you got to give it a shot. Mix colors you would NEVER think of mixing together. You might surprise yourself.
Those are the tips I have for you guys! I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did you can show your support by commenting and liking. I always appreciate hearing from you.

How to Paint with Acrylic Paint:
Acrylic PaintingTechniques
We're going to talk about some painting techniques. Let's start with putting our paint out on our palette. Basically, all you have to do is take your paint, squeeze it out of your bottle or your tube onto your palette. Separate the colors with a little bit of space so that you'll have room to blend in between your colors. I also like to set them out sort of like they appear on the color wheel. And just start with a small amount of ...

10 Acrylic Painting Tips for Beginners

Hello there! I have been dabbling with paint for a while but this semester I took my first painting class. It is so crazy because I have taken a bunch of drawing classes but never a class that focused on how to paint.
In this video I'm sharing the tips I have learned so far from working with acrylics! These are pretty basic tips but these are things that have been really helping me out and I think they will help you if you are a beginner too.
Here are my Tips:

Hi, I'm Linda. I created a company called Paint Along. Check us out at paintalongnyc.com. We have really fun painting workshops in Nashville and New York.
How to Paint with Acrylic Paint:
Acrylic PaintingTechniques
We're going to talk about some painting techniques. Let's start with putting our paint out on our palette. Basically, all you have to do is take your paint, squeeze it out of your bottle or your tube onto your palette. Separate the colors with a little bit of space so that you'll have room to blend in between your colors. I also like to set them out sort of like they appear on the color wheel. And just start with a small amount of paint, each color.
The next thing we're going to talk about is how to load your brushes and how to apply the paint to the canvas. I'm going to start by using a 1/2 inch flat brush. These are great for mixing colors with. I'm going to take some of my red paint and blend it into my yellow paint to come up with an orange shade. Make sure that you get a quite a good amount of paint into your brush depending on the technique and the subject that your going to be working on. You simply take the brush and you press into the canvas. Going back and forth will spread the paint and it will also fill in all the little pieces and parts of the canvas.
The next brush I'd like to demonstrate is the liner brush. This brush is used to get a lot of details in your subject. So you're just going to take your brush and you're going to load it up with the paint. If you use a very heavy pressure, it will give you a very wide line because the bristles splay out. If you use a very light pressure and stay on the tip of the brush, you'll get a very thin and delicate line.
Another brush I'd like to tell you about is the 1 inch flat brush. This brush is good for covering large spaces. You can mix a little bit of water with your paint and your paint will go further. That way you can cover large areas very quickly.
You can go to the store and get all types of easels. You can get standing easels. You can get table easels as well. I prefer to use a small table easel and these take up very little space. And I can take them with me anywhere I go.
I also like to keep my palette very close to my painting. That way I can reach it very easily. I can replenish the colors anytime I want to.
And those are just some basic techniques for setting up your workstation.

10 Acrylic Painting Tips for Beginners

Hello there! I have been dabbling with paint for a while but this semester I took my first painting class. It is so crazy because I have taken a bunch of drawing classes but never a class that focused on how to paint.
In this video I'm sharing the tips I have learned so far from working with acrylics! These are pretty basic tips but these are things that have been really helping me out and I think they will help you if you are a beginner too.
Here are my Tips:
1. Buy Basic Canvases:
I like using canvas boards because it encourages me to go for and practice. I don't feel like I have to make everything perfect because I didn't spend a bunch of money on supplies. Also they are WAYYYYY easier to store in your home.
2. Create more:
It's better to explore and experiment when you are first learning how to work with paint then trying to make everything look perfect right away. As writers like to say: write for the trash can! You are going to learn more and improve quicker by being less timid and more open. So go paint some train wrecks and you will eventually paint a masterpiece.
3. Try painting without DrawingFirst:
I feel like you might come after me with torches and pitchforks for saying this but... maybe give it a try? I know how you feel I am SO much more use to drawing then painting but just learning how to work with my brushstrokes at this point has helped me prevent making my work look too stiff.
4. Use a Bigger brush:
I know you little pencil artists out there like me just want to use a fine tip to get in all those little details... But if you start your paintings this way, it is a PAAAIIIN. Also working with a bigger brush to start helps you create more movement and brushstrokes. (also saves you from ripping out hair)
5. Use the Rule of thirds:
Now you don't always have to do this but it does make the composition more interesting to look at. If my explanation didn't make sense, here is another example: http://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds/
6. Buy Small Paint Tubes:
Now I know you are going to think I've lost my mind on this one but these little mini tubes have gotten me through SEVERAL assignments on my class. I did not think this was possible AT ALL. Paint adds up quickly, use these little tubes to test out what brand works best for you.
7. Use a gel medium:
I LOVE this stuff. I have had it in my art collection for a WHILE but I never really used it. THIS STUFFIS AMAZING! It makes everything glide much easier and it keeps the paint wet. For only $2 it is a bargain. I wouldn't recommend using this stuff for the first layer, wait till your 3rd layer. It makes the paint less opaque.
8. Use a HeavyMatteMedium:
Yes girl! If you have always wanted to add some texture to your paint, here you go. You mix this stuff with your paint and it makes it stand out on your canvas.
9. Mix compliments:
I use to HATE. I mean HAAAATTTE complimentary colors... so much. They just looked so repulsive and ugly to me. But when you mix them together, they neutralize eachother put and create these useful neutrals. These neutrals are great for so many things: shadows, skin. Basically anything you are painting from life.
10. Be bold and experiment with mixing colors:
When you are first starting mixing colors is super intimidating. However, you got to give it a shot. Mix colors you would NEVER think of mixing together. You might surprise yourself.
Those are the tips I have for you guys! I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did you can show your support by commenting and liking. I always appreciate hearing from you.

Hello there! I have been dabbling with paint for a while but this semester I took my first painting class. It is so crazy because I have taken a bunch of drawing classes but never a class that focused on how to paint.
In this video I'm sharing the tips I have learned so far from working with acrylics! These are pretty basic tips but these are things that have been really helping me out and I think they will help you if you are a beginner too.
Here are my Tips:
1. Buy Basic Canvases:
I like using canvas boards because it encourages me to go for and practice. I don't feel like I have to make everything perfect because I didn't spend a bunch of money on supplies. Also they are WAYYYYY easier to store in your home.
2. Create more:
It's better to explore and experiment when you are first learning how to work with paint then trying to make everything look perfect right away. As writers like to say: write for the trash can! You are going to learn more and improve quicker by being less timid and more open. So go paint some train wrecks and you will eventually paint a masterpiece.
3. Try painting without DrawingFirst:
I feel like you might come after me with torches and pitchforks for saying this but... maybe give it a try? I know how you feel I am SO much more use to drawing then painting but just learning how to work with my brushstrokes at this point has helped me prevent making my work look too stiff.
4. Use a Bigger brush:
I know you little pencil artists out there like me just want to use a fine tip to get in all those little details... But if you start your paintings this way, it is a PAAAIIIN. Also working with a bigger brush to start helps you create more movement and brushstrokes. (also saves you from ripping out hair)
5. Use the Rule of thirds:
Now you don't always have to do this but it does make the composition more interesting to look at. If my explanation didn't make sense, here is another example: http://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds/
6. Buy Small Paint Tubes:
Now I know you are going to think I've lost my mind on this one but these little mini tubes have gotten me through SEVERAL assignments on my class. I did not think this was possible AT ALL. Paint adds up quickly, use these little tubes to test out what brand works best for you.
7. Use a gel medium:
I LOVE this stuff. I have had it in my art collection for a WHILE but I never really used it. THIS STUFFIS AMAZING! It makes everything glide much easier and it keeps the paint wet. For only $2 it is a bargain. I wouldn't recommend using this stuff for the first layer, wait till your 3rd layer. It makes the paint less opaque.
8. Use a HeavyMatteMedium:
Yes girl! If you have always wanted to add some texture to your paint, here you go. You mix this stuff with your paint and it makes it stand out on your canvas.
9. Mix compliments:
I use to HATE. I mean HAAAATTTE complimentary colors... so much. They just looked so repulsive and ugly to me. But when you mix them together, they neutralize eachother put and create these useful neutrals. These neutrals are great for so many things: shadows, skin. Basically anything you are painting from life.
10. Be bold and experiment with mixing colors:
When you are first starting mixing colors is super intimidating. However, you got to give it a shot. Mix colors you would NEVER think of mixing together. You might surprise yourself.
Those are the tips I have for you guys! I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did you can show your support by commenting and liking. I always appreciate hearing from you.

8 Acrylic Painting Techniques | Acrylic Painting

Hi, I'm Linda. I created a company called Paint Along. Check us out at paintalongnyc.com. We have really fun painting workshops in Nashville and New York.
How to Paint with Acrylic Paint:
Acrylic PaintingTechniques
We're going to talk about some painting techniques. Let's start with putting our paint out on our palette. Basically, all you have to do is take your paint, squeeze it out of your bottle or your tube onto your palette. Separate the colors with a little bit of space so that you'll have room to blend in between your colors. I also like to set them out sort of like they appear on the color wheel. And just start with a small amount of paint, each color.
The next thing we're going to talk about is how to load your brushes and how to apply the paint to the canvas. I'm going to start by using a 1/2 inch flat brush. These are great for mixing colors with. I'm going to take some of my red paint and blend it into my yellow paint to come up with an orange shade. Make sure that you get a quite a good amount of paint into your brush depending on the technique and the subject that your going to be working on. You simply take the brush and you press into the canvas. Going back and forth will spread the paint and it will also fill in all the little pieces and parts of the canvas.
The next brush I'd like to demonstrate is the liner brush. This brush is used to get a lot of details in your subject. So you're just going to take your brush and you're going to load it up with the paint. If you use a very heavy pressure, it will give you a very wide line because the bristles splay out. If you use a very light pressure and stay on the tip of the brush, you'll get a very thin and delicate line.
Another brush I'd like to tell you about is the 1 inch flat brush. This brush is good for covering large spaces. You can mix a little bit of water with your paint and your paint will go further. That way you can cover large areas very quickly.
You can go to the store and get all types of easels. You can get standing easels. You can get table easels as well. I prefer to use a small table easel and these take up very little space. And I can take them with me anywhere I go.
I also like to keep my palette very close to my painting. That way I can reach it very easily. I can replenish the colors anytime I want to.
And those are just some basic techniques for setting up your workstation.

PAINTING FRIDA KAHLO | Paint with me! Acrylic on Canvas

I completed this painting in about 4 days. I filmed my entire process from the sketch, to mixing my colors, laying down the base layers, and working those details.
I painted this for a dear friend of mine and also in preparation for this upcoming art festival that I’ll be participating in. I’m so happy with how it came together and it’s always cool for me to even see my process! I hope that you enjoy watching this video and that I could help you learn something about painting portraits!

See you next time!

Canvas

Canvas is an extremely durable plain-wovenfabric used for making sails, tents, marquees, backpacks, and other items for which sturdiness is required. It is also popularly used by artists as a painting surface, typically stretched across a wooden frame. It is also used in such fashion objects as handbags, electronic device cases and shoes.

Etymology

The word "canvas" is derived from the 13th century Anglo-French canevaz and the Old Frenchcanevas. Both may be derivatives of the Vulgar Latincannapaceus for "made of hemp," originating from the Greek κάνναβις (cannabis).

Physical characteristics

Modern canvas is usually made of cotton or linen, although historically it was made from hemp. It differs from other heavy cotton fabrics, such as denim, in being plain weave rather than twill weave. Canvas comes in two basic types: plain and duck. The threads in duck canvas are more tightly woven. The term duck comes from the Dutch word for cloth, doek. In the United States, canvas is classified in two ways: by weight (ounces per square yard) and by a graded number system. The numbers run in reverse of the weight so a number 10 canvas is lighter than number 4.
